A Simpler Way to Install or Modify Process Piping

Modifying existing process piping has always been challenging. Cutting into piping that contains paint, sealer, adhesive or other materials can prove to be messy at best and logistically nightmarish at worst. Typical modification requires precise cutting and manual installation of connectors, or complicated welding process. Both options usually require that significant evacuation of materials within the pipe happens first. This is a messy process that usually requires a lot of down time for the process.

Now there’s a new technology that makes the process much faster and easier. Installing new or modifying existing piping systems for process fluids, such as paint or high viscosity sealer header systems has never been so simple. The Hosco PreFiS connector family of products sets a new standard for fast and simple pipe installation or modification. Available in 316 SST wetted parts for paint or process fluids, and it’s also available in carbon steel for high pressure systems.

The PreFiS system of couplings is a full line of couplings, reducing couplings, tees, reducing “T”s, lateral “Y”s, and other connectors to provide smooth-bore, cavity and silicone-free, and low shear operation–the attributes which serve as Hosco’s cornerstone of design.
